About
The Civic Archaeological Museum of Vetulonia describes the history of the territory hosting, according to a chronological-topographical order, finds from the remains of the inhabited area and the necropolis of Vetulonia, but also from the territorial area controlled by it. In the seven rooms of the museum are preserved the testimony of more than a thousand years of history of one of the capitals of the Etruscan world, from the Villanovan period to the Roman period. Extraordinary funerary objects from the orientalizing period (720 - 600 BC) , especially due to the presence of locally produced gold jewelery, testify the power and the richness of the etruscan aristocracy that has ruled the city and the territory.

Well-ordered museum with competent and very kind staff.
The collection is well distributed and well described on the labels and traces the local history and, more generally, of the Etruscans in the area. It is part of the larger archaeological museum system of the Maremma.
It is located in the central area of Vetulonia with convenient parking.

This is my third visit to the museum. What about it? Small jewel for all fans of Etruscology and exquisitely kind staff. These days, among other things, you can also visit the exhibition dedicated to the tomb of the Duke of Vetulonia. Not to be missed.

We knew nothing about the once sea bay that separeted Roselle and Vetulonia, And nothing about how they competed in importance. With every new knowledge about this people we would take our hat off and bow to them and their technical expertice! The museum is a jewel, but, as most Italian museums they must be better to present their knowledge in more languages than Italian! However, Vetulonia is a very pleasant and interesting place to visit. Take a seat in the main street ristorante and breath the atmosphere of past times!

We toured the museum, the active archaeological site down the hill, and then made the short drive to the tombs further down (Via di Sepulcri) It was all very interesting and we learned a lot about the Etruscans. As another reviewer mentioned, it is amazing what they were able to build and make that long ago. At the archaeological site, staff member Alessio spent 45 min talking with us and teaching about the structures and items found there, and even sent us with a picture of relics he found recently! This was a nice and educational way to spend a few hours while staying in Vetulonia.

a little museum with a good overview over the Etruscan places of the area, with changing special exibitions. In summer too hot.The museum is in Vetulonia, one of the impotant places of the Etruscan time near the sea (it had a port!).

We didn't make it to the actual museum due to time constraints but stopped at the small Etruscan city archeological site and then stopped at a handful of different Etruscan tombs scattered down the side of the hill leading out of town (via an unpaved but navigable road). The sites are all well signposted and explained in multiple languages. The structures are partially restored in some cases which adds to their impact. Very cool and not really mentioned at all in our guidebooks! So a welcome surprise.

I am not a museum person but this one was fascinating We spent over an hour here looking at relics that dated back to 3 BC and further. Some of the items looked as if they had been made in modern day conditions. How they managed to create these items back then is literally mind-boggling. Your ticket also gets you in to the excavations on the edge of the village. Do not go on a Monday as they are closed but do go. Have your cup of coffee first as we could find nowhere to get one. It may well have somewhere in season.
